New York Times-bestselling author adrienne maree brown knows we need each other more than ever, and offers âloving correctionsâ: a roadmap towards collective power, righting wrongs, and true belonging
This selection of prescient, compassionate essays explores patterns we engage in that are rooted in limited thinking. Through a lens of âloving correctionâ rather than mere critique, author adrienne maree brown helps us reimagine how to hold ourselves, our loved ones, and our communities accountable by setting clear boundaries, engaging in reflection, and nurturing honest relationships.
Loving Corrections is divided into two sections, with the first portion featuring new essays including âA Word for White Peopleâ and âRelinquishing the Patriarchyâ and writing on topics like moving from fragility to fortitude, disability, and navigating critique within activist communities. The second section expands and updates pieces from brown's popular monthly column âMurmurationsâ in YES! Magazine that explore accountabilityâwithin oneself and communityâwith depth, inventiveness, and empathy.
Along with allowing us more authentic access to ourselves and to each other, the âcorrectionsâ in the bookâs title are intended to explore and break identity-based patterns including white supremacy, fragility, patriarchy, and ableism. brown also offers practical guidance on how to apologize and be accountable from our nuanced positions of power, history, and resources.
Building on her previous workâespecially Holding Change and We Will Not Cancel Usâbrown reminds us how much we need each other: "It is only through relationship that we learn how to be, understand our impact on others and explore small shifts that may yield remarkable collective change."
